Rev. Wright , USMC vs. the Catholic Church
It's amazing to me that the remarks made by Rev. Wright, USMC seems to have caused more controversy then the reaction to the Catholic Church's pedofilia scandal. It's to the point that I honestly believe that the reaction is nothing more then white Amerika's cover to release their bigotry and hatred against the thought of any black man being president.
Once a Marine Always(?) a Marine!
While Rev Wright was serving six years on active duty, Vice President Dick Cheney, who was born the same year as the Marine/sailor, received five deferments, four for being an undergraduate and graduate student and one for being a prospective father. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both five years younger than Rev Wright, used their student deferments to stay in college until 1968. Both then avoided going on active duty through family connections.
